Stay for Two with Wine-Tour Passes at Marriott Gateway on the Falls in Niagara Falls, ON

Marriott on the Falls

Wine Getaway at AAA Four-Diamond Hotel Overlooking Niagara Falls

As many as eight million visitors a year come to Niagara Falls. The water is certainly a sight to behold, and you can see it from the Marriott Gateway on the Falls. But the falls’ commanding presence often means that the Niagara region’s many wineries get overlooked. Winemaking has been a pastime here for 200 years. You can sample the fruits of that labor at many family-owned vineyards near Marriott Gateway on the Falls. As part of this deal, you’ll get VIP passes that give you access to four wineries in the surrounding Niagara region. You’ll enjoy tastings and tours at Peller Estates, Trius at Hillebrand, Thirty Bench, and Wine Country Vintners wineries.

When you come back, you can enjoy dinner at the onsite Milestones Grill + Bar. It’s situated on the mezzanine level and has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the falls. Enjoy grilled mediterranean chicken and fire-grilled salmon and sip on signature cocktails such as the popular frozen bellinis topped with sangria.

The Marriott takes full advantage of its majestic views of Niagara Falls wherever possible. There are 32 stories of picture windows overlooking the falls. Fallsview rooms provide close-up peeks of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls and American Falls. Cityview rooms overlook the city of Niagara Falls.

As part of this package, the resort offers two passes for the 24-hour WEGO shuttle. It connects to most of the major tourist attractions around Niagara Falls, including downtown attractions and the parks.

Niagara Falls, Ontario: Panoramic Views of the Falls near Vegas-Style Casinos and Water Parks

At Niagara Falls—considered by many to be one of the world’s seven natural wonders—water thunders downward from a height of nearly 200 feet, crashing onto craggy boulders below. The falls straddle the border between Canada and the United States, with segments located in both New York and Ontario, but the Canadian side of the Niagara River is universally hailed as the finest vantage point to take in all three of Niagara Falls' photogenic brinks: American, Bridal Veil, and Horseshoe Falls.

Year-round, Journey Behind the Falls grants a glimpse behind the curtain of Horseshoe Falls—board an elevator that descends 150 feet into the bedrock, then stand at an observation deck steps away from the cascading water.

A 10-minute walk from the falls, you'll see the neon glow of the Clifton Hill neighborhood. Its Fallsview Boulevard has plenty of Vegas-style kitsch, including glitzy casinos, indoor water parks, restaurants, and soggy Elvis impersonators.
